1. A target acquisition device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
receiving first input data indicative of a first screen coordinate of a user interface (UI) device, wherein the first screen coordinate represents a first ballistic solution for a target at a first distance;
receiving second input data indicative of a second screen coordinate of the UI device, wherein the second screen coordinate represents a second ballistic solution for the target at a second distance that differs from the first distance;
receiving third input data indicative of a third distance to the target that differs from the first distance and the second distance;
as a function of a UI distance between the first screen coordinate and the second screen coordinate, determining a parabola coefficient; and
as a function of the parabola coefficient, determining a third screen coordinate indicative of a third ballistic solution at the third distance.
